About me

Seeking therapy is often a brave action and is always a responsible thing to do. By choosing to explore what’s troubling you, you are choosing to get behind yourself and that in itself is a positive step. Therapy can be hard work, it can be cathartic, it can be painful and it can be freeing. I will always work at your pace and you will choose what you bring to therapy.

As a humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist I am interested in working with the whole of you, your knowledge and your confusion, your joy and your pain with the aim of supporting you to know more of yourself. With that increased awareness comes the possibility of change. My expertise is in supporting and guiding your exploration of what’s not working in your life and find ways of getting more satisfaction. I am empathetic and can also be challenging; I am good-willed and I will always act in your best interests. I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach; we are all unique and I will get to know you as an individual and work with you in the way that best supports you.
